40 clove chicken
so I made James Beard's 40 clove chicken last night based on the recipe on the foundation's website. I used 4 chicken leg/thigh quarters, 40 cloves of garlic, 4 ribs of celery -sliced thin, e-v olive oil, 1/4 C dry vermouth, 6 sprigs fresh parsley, and 1 Tbsp tarragon. I also seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper after dipping in the olive oil per the recipe. I then put everything in a dutch oven, sealed it with foil and put it into a heated 375 degree oven for an hour and a half. It was good but not the mind-blowing experience I had built up in my mind (great) based on all of the rave reviews I have seen out on the interwebs. Am I missing something here?
